Film Music Open-Air in the Castle Courtyard
Schloss Glücksburg, the white moated castle from the 16th century, is one of Northern Germany's most famous Renaissance castles. It is located in the town of Glücksburg (Ostsee) in the district of Schleswig-Flensburg in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, directly on the Flensburg Fjord, and was the ancestral seat of the Dukes of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg for centuries. Today, the Schloss Glücksburg Foundation houses a museum — and in the summer, the castle courtyard becomes an open-air stage.
The Schlosskonzert 'The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others' is the musical highlight of the summer program. The Hollywood Symphony Orchestra plays the most famous film compositions by Hans Zimmer — the Frankfurt-born Oscar winner who composed the soundtracks for Inception, Interstellar, The Dark Knight, Dune, and Pirates of the Caribbean — and supplements them with works by other great film composers.
Glücksburg in summer is a destination in itself — fjord beaches, the castle museum, guided boat tours on the 'Apfelfahrt' in October. Those who combine the concert with a day on the Flensburg Fjord will experience one of Schleswig-Holstein's most beautiful corners in its best summer form. The Glücksburg summer program also includes other open-air events such as a performance of Macbeth in the castle park and a Pink Floyd tribute 'The Dark Side of the Moon — Live in Concert'.
The Schlosskonzert on July 23, 2026, is part of the Glücksburg open-air summer program. The organizer is the Schloss Glücksburg Foundation. Start at 6:00 PM in the castle courtyard — the Renaissance architecture of the moated castle forms the natural acoustic and visual backdrop.
The focus is on the film music of Hans Zimmer, the German Oscar winner who has shaped the soundscape of modern blockbuster cinema: Pirates of the Caribbean, Dune, Top Gun, Inception, Interstellar, The Dark Knight. The Hollywood Symphony Orchestra performs these in full orchestral arrangement and supplements the program with selected works by other film composers.
The Hollywood Symphony Orchestra in full ensemble — a German film music touring ensemble that performs film music concerts at castles nationwide.
Detailed setlist and exact order of pieces will be published shortly before the concert.
